About 0WQ80ZZ
0WQ80ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the chest wall using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of chest wall, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (34.79).
For a different body part, codes include 0WQ00ZZ (head), 0WQ20ZZ (face), 0WQ30ZZ (oral cavity and throat), 0WQ40ZZ (upper jaw), 0WQ50ZZ (lower jaw), 0WQ60ZZ (neck) and 6 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WQ83ZZ (percutaneous), 0WQ84ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic) and 0WQ8XZZ (external).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 515 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 516 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 517 (Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue O.R. Procedures”, “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures” and 2 more.
